Beef Steak Tostada

With lean grilled beef and market-fresh veggies, this crispy crunchy main-course salad has all the satisfaction of a nacho platter with a fraction of the fat and a BIG boost of nutrients. Using oven-toasted whole wheat flour tortillas as the tostada base is a healthier choice than traditional fried corn tortillas.

Ingredients

1 lb (500 g) Beef Grilling Steak (e.g. Rib Eye, Top Sirloin, Strip Loin), about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick8 7-inch (18 cm) whole wheat flour tortillasPinch salt and pepper¼ cup (50 mL) vegetable oil½ cup (125 mL) chopped red onion2 cloves garlic, minced2 cups (500 mL) quartered mushrooms2 cups (500 mL) grape tomatoes, halved2 cups (500 mL) fresh or thawed corn kernels1 cup (250 mL) shredded lettuce2 tbsp (30 mL) minced fresh coriander or parsleyMarinade/Dressing1 tbsp (15 mL) grated lime rind¼ cup (50 mL) lime juice (about 2 limes)2 tbsp (30 mL) minced fresh coriander or parsley1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder4 large cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Marinade/Dressing: In bowl, combine lime rind, lime juice, coriander, chili powder and garlic. Set aside 3 tablespoons (45 mL) into a large bowl for dressing. Rub remaining mixture over both sides of steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, toast tortillas (see Cook’s Notes).

Pat steak dry; season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high, for 10-12 minutes, turning at least twice, for medium-rare doneness 145°F(63°C). Let rest before slicing.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until all liquid is released, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add tomatoes and corn. Cook, stirring just until softened, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk remaining oil into reserved marinade to complete the dressing. Thinly slice steak; add to dressing along with mushroom mixture, lettuce and coriander, tossing gently to coat. Pile 1/2 cup (125 mL) beef mixture on each tortilla to serve.

BRIGHT IDEA Oven-Toasted Tortillas

Spray both sides of tortillas with cooking spray; place in single layer on baking sheet. Bake in 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.
